The word "waste" came out of Zhou Xinpeng's mouth, which deeply hurt Zhou Jianlai's heart, and the hope for family affection he had when he entered the door was gone.
Staring at the man's ruthless face, Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but smile bitterly. It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, ending his unrealistic fantasy. Sure enough, in this family there are only interests and no emotions. It's okay to want feelings, provided you have enough value.
Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa were behind Zhou Jianlai, frowning and silent, silently feeling sorry for Zhou Jianlai in their hearts. I deeply doubt whether Zhou Jianlai is his biological child, or maybe he was picked up outside?
"With my sword!" Zhou Jianlai's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Pfft - haha -" As soon as Zhou Jianlai said this, his fourth brother Zhou Xingjie seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He laughed so hard that he burst into tears from the corners of his eyes. He pointed at Zhou Jianlai and mocked: "By yours Sword? Do you want to laugh us to death? Can you, a cripple without a right arm, be able to hold a sword? Haha——"
"Fifth brother, stop making trouble and accept your fate. Just stay at home and the Zhou family will have no shortage of food for you. Marrying a wife and having children won't be a problem. It's better than begging outside. Look how long you've been out for. He has thrown away our master's pride and dignity and actually got together with beggars and scoundrels, and even brought them home. Is the door of Zhou's house accessible to cats and dogs? Someone, please put these two together. A beggar broke his legs and threw them out." The third sister Zhou Manyun seemed to be thinking about Zhou Jianlai, but in fact her words were full of ridicule, and she even broke the legs of Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa to humiliate Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Xinpeng put his hands behind his back and did not say anything to stop him. He actually acquiesced to Zhou Manyun's order.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa couldn't help but smile, speechless at the Zhou family's domineering cruelty. They didn't even say a word since they entered the door. They just stayed behind Zhou Jianlai and didn't provoke anyone, let alone anyone. Just because they were poorly dressed and dirty, their legs were broken and thrown out. This is too outrageous and unreasonable.
However, although the two of them were angry, they just shook their heads and smiled without saying anything. It was left to Zhou Jian to decide how to deal with everything. This is the Zhou family after all, and doing this is the most basic respect for Zhou Jianlai.
Someone had already heard the news and came to the Zhou family's nursing home, but because it was a family matter of the Zhou family, they didn't dare to come forward. They all hid quietly in the distance and watched the excitement. At this time, after hearing Zhou Manyun's order and seeing that the head of the family, Zhou Xinpeng, silently acquiesced, four burly men in black uniforms and holding sticks came forward. When they arrived, without saying a word, they raised the stick in their hands and threw it at Zhang Xiaopou and Niu Dawa. They were very obedient and only aimed at the legs of Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa when they said they wanted to break their legs.
Niu Dawa crossed his arms across his chest, twitching the corners of his mouth with a sneer on his face.
Zhang Xiaozu also had a calm expression on his face.
The expressions and reactions of the two gave people the impression that it was not them who were about to have their legs broken, but the guard who rushed towards them with a stick.
Zhou Xinpeng noticed the expressions and reactions of Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Having been in the social circle of the upper class for many years and meeting countless people, he immediately knew that Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were definitely not beggars and gangsters, otherwise they would People will not be so calm, let alone show disdain when a disaster is approaching.
To stay calm in times of crisis, you must have someone to rely on.
Canglang!
Zhou Jianlai grabbed his hand behind his back.
The sword was unsheathed and he waved it casually. There was a rumble of thunder and the energy of the sword was everywhere. In an instant, the stick in the guard's hand was shredded to pieces, leaving a bloody mouth half an inch deep on the chests of the four of them. He shouted in a cold voice: "More If you dare to take action, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword! Get out!"
The four nursing staff covered the bleeding wounds on their chests with their hands, their faces turned pale with fright, and their hearts were beating wildly. Just for a moment, they felt the breath of death. Their hearts were like a mirror, it was Zhou Jianlai who showed mercy. The four of them looked at each other and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Jianlai and said, "Thank you very much, Fifth Young Master, for not killing me!"
After saying that, they retreated. Seeing that Zhou Xinpeng did not scold them, the four of them couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Third Heaven Realm, not bad." Zhou Xinpeng saw through Zhou Jianlai's cultivation level, and suddenly changed from his previous ruthlessness, and nodded approvingly towards Zhou Jianlai, but then said: "But it's not enough to get the Mountain Sword back."
It can be seen that in his eyes, only those with strength are qualified to talk about other things.
"Third - the third level of heaven?" Zhou Xingjie looked at Zhou Jianlai as if he had seen a ghost, and suddenly shook his head and said: "No, it's impossible! He has broken his right arm, how can his cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds?! Absolutely impossible!"
"It's just the third level of heaven. It's still far from the third brother." Zhou Manyun glanced sideways at Zhou Jianlai with a disdainful expression, but the sourness in her tone and the unconcealed jealousy in her eyes betrayed her true inner thoughts.
"Noisy!" Zhou Jianlai scolded in displeasure, and the Earth Domain instantly expanded, covering Zhou Xingjie and Zhou Manyun.
With two bangs, the two of them were pressed to the ground by Zhou Jianlai's Earth Domain, and their knees broke the heavy bluestone slab.
Zhou Xinpeng's eyes narrowed sharply, with excitement on his face, and he shouted repeatedly: "The Realm of Earth! Okay! Okay! Okay!"
I have no sympathy for Zhou Xingjie and Zhou Manyun.
"You - you - you - I am your fourth brother, how dare you be rude to me?!" Zhou Xingjie blushed. Under the pressure of Zhou Jianlai's absolute strength, "you" didn't say anything for a long time, but Still holding his neck and refusing to give in, he took out his brother's identity and pressed Zhou Jianlai. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he fell directly to the ground. Zhou Jianlai threw himself to the ground and was pressed hard to the ground. His mouth was chewing on the bluestone, unable to move.
"Fifth brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been rude to you. I will never dare to do it again. Just let me go." Seeing Zhou Xingjie's miserable end, Zhou Manyun immediately surrendered to Zhou Jianlai. How could he look so pitiful? He looked a little bit arrogant as before.
"Apologise to my two brothers." Zhou Jianlai said coldly.
"You two young masters, I'm sorry, but I am blind. I hope that the two young masters will not remember the villain's faults and not argue with the little girls." Zhou Manyun was straightforward and apologized directly to Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa hurriedly waved their hands and responded. The two of them were a little confused by Zhou Manyun's speed of changing his face and his attitude of admitting his mistake. This did not look like the behavior of aristocratic children, but he was clearly a street gangster who bullied the weak and feared the strong. style.
Zhou Xinpeng watched from the side and did not feel angry because Zhou Manyun apologized to Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa, two outsiders, which had harmed the Zhou family's face. His indifferent expression was as if nothing had happened.
"Go to the martial arts training ground." Zhou Xinpeng said to Zhou Jianlai, then looked at Zhou Manyun who got up from the ground and said: "Tell Zhou Hongwen to go to the martial arts training ground and bring the mountain sword."
"Yes." Zhou Manyun responded.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Jianlai called out to Zhou Manyun, looked at Zhou Xinpeng and said, "No need, just let him come here. If he can block my sword at the fifth level of heaven, I will turn around and leave."
"Are you sure?" Zhou Xinpeng frowned, his expression slightly displeased, feeling that Zhou Jianlai was too arrogant.
"OK." Zhou Jianlai nodded without any hesitation.
"Okay." Zhou Xinpeng nodded and said, "Let him bring the mountain sword here."
"Yes." Zhou Manyun accepted the order and left.
Zhou Xinpeng moved his eyes away from Zhou Jianlai's face and looked at Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa. He found that their expressions were as calm as ever. It seemed that in their eyes, Zhou Jianlai said an ordinary thing and there was nothing to make a fuss about. Zhou Xinpeng's eyes returned to Zhou Jianlai's face, and he suddenly couldn't help but look forward to it. If Zhou Jianlai could really defeat Zhou Hongwen, who had cultivated to the fifth level of heaven, with one sword, then he would have a great genius in the Zhou family.
"Who are these two young masters?" Having expectations for Zhou Jianlai, Zhou Xinpeng's attitude changed again, and he took the initiative to ask Zhou Jianlai about the identities of Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa, and addressed them as "young masters".
"They are my sworn brothers, Zhang Dayong and Niu——Niu——" Zhou Jianlai was suddenly embarrassed, because he was used to calling Dawa every day, and he actually forgot what Niu Dawa's name was.
"Boy Niu Guangmao has met my uncle." Niu Dawa spoke in time to resolve Zhou Jianlai's embarrassment. He didn't care that Zhou Jianlai had forgotten his name, because his name and pseudonym were almost never used, which is understandable.
"Boy Zhang Dayong has met his uncle." Zhang Xiaopeng also greeted Zhou Xinpeng.
"Okay." Zhou Xinpeng nodded with a smile and stopped talking.
The news of Zhou Jianlai's return spread in the house, and many people soon gathered, including many like Zhou Xingjie and Zhou Manyun. They were sarcastic and sarcastic as soon as they met, and only a few people showed real concern for Zhou Jianlai.
"Is Xiao Wu back?" A woman's voice sounded outside the crowd, and the crowd immediately made way for the woman to walk in.
Zhou Jianlai heard this and hurried forward to greet the woman. He bowed in front of the woman and said, "The child is unfilial and makes the mother worried!"
The woman who came was Zhou Jianlai's mother, Mrs. Zhou Wang. She was six years younger than Zhou Xinpeng, but her face was much older than Zhou Xinpeng's. She had just turned fifty and had a lot of white hair in her hair, and her face had many wrinkles. He was sickly pale and was being supported by two maids on the left and right as he walked. He seemed to be ill.
Mrs. Zhou Wang quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Jianlai up. With tears in her eyes, she kept saying, "Good boy, it's good to come back. It's good to come back."
"Mom, let me go quickly." Zhou Xingjie lay on the ground and howled.
"What - what's going on?" After hearing Zhou Xingjie's voice, Mrs. Zhou noticed that he was lying on the ground and asked in confusion.
Zhou Jianlai deliberately did not let Zhou Xingjie go, so that he could use him to intimidate others and prevent these arrogant guys from causing trouble. The effect was pretty good.
"Maybe it's because it's too hot and he wants to lie down on the ground to cool off." Zhou Jianlai said with a smile, and at the same time calmly withdrew from the soil realm. Only then did Zhou Xingjie get up from the ground with a blushing face. His embarrassed look covered in mud annoyed many people. Laughed.
